From Broken to Blessing

Finding God’s Purpose in Your Pain

Life has many ups and downs and sometimes it seems the ups may never come. It is easy to focus on all the bad things that are going on. It’s tempting to look at our brokenness and feel that all is lost. The Truth is that we can find hope and encouragement in our brokenness because it gives God the opportunity to show how much He loves us.

Join LaToya as she shares how God has redeemed and blessed her in middle of being broken. No matter what your circumstances God has a plan for your life, a plan that leads from being broken to blessings.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. ~ Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
